Merleau-Ponty and the Essence of Nature
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-3995-2989-1 (ISBN)
Taylor Knight reveals the way in which phenomenology initiates a return to ontology construed through a dialectical relationship between being and element. Within phenomenology’s return to the elemental, Merleau-Ponty’s late philosophy is a key locus, opening critical paths forward into an ontology for the ecological age. With reference to his phenomenological forebears - Heidegger, Husserl, Levinas - his non-phenomenological influences - Bachelard, Schelling, Freud - and his dialogue with Greek thought - Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle – Knight shows what is authentically new in Merleau-Ponty’s late ontology.
Taylor Knight is an Independent Scholar who holds a DPhil in Theology from the University of Oxford and a PhD in Philosophy from the Institut Catholique de Paris. He has published on twentieth-century French philosophy and on the Renaissance philosopher Nicholas of Cusa. He has journal articles in Neue Zeitschrift für Systematische Theologie et Religionsphilosophie and Sophia.
